We were in Ft Walton Beach for a long weekend. A friend highly recommended the Ruby Slipper Cafe. This location had only been open a few weeks. Our server, Jillian was attentive and very nice. Answered any questions we had. Overall great service. The food was very tasty. However, it was warm not hot. My wife had the build your own omelette. I had the Trifecta. The portions where very generous. My wife also had a Mimosa and it was very good. The location was very clean. read more

We went to Ruby Slipper years ago in New Orleans and it was so good, but every time we have been back the wait is too long. We were so excited to see one open up in Destin. It did not disappoint. Our food was good and our server Tina was the sweetest and great at helping me decide what to get! No pictures because they food looked so good I forgot! read more

Great food and great service. Prices are reasonable and the wait staff was awesome....will be back

Great option for brunch in Destin! Very tasty appetizers and some seasonal selections. Highly recommend the fried green tomatoes for a sharing appetizer, and the many different types of Eggs Benedict offered. You can even pick two different kinds to make a meal. Biscuits are huge and very filling. Amazing Louisiana coffee that tastes like you are at Cafe Du Monde! read more

The one rule I have while on vacation is NO CHAIN RESTAURANTS. However, I always make an exception for Ruby Slipper (Sunshine) Cafe. I've been to several different locations (several times), and the food is consistently GOOD, and the staff is always friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Had an amazing brunch here on my vacation! Our server, Amber, was amazing and very attentive. The food came out fast and it was some of the best brunch I've ever had. Will definitely be back on our next vacation! read more

Food was perfect. Great Bloody Mary as well. Service was excellent. Ask for Meg. She's a cheerful person and a great server.

YUM. loves the food the pancakes made me happy. Super yummy and everyone with me loved their food too.

Nicole at the bar was five stars ! Very personable. Bread pudding pancakes were good and biscuit sliders are always our go to

Our experience at the Ruby Slipper Cafe was underwhelming. I joined the online waitlist, and we were seated within 5 minutes of arrival. We waited for about 15 minutes for our waitress to take our drink orders. Because of the wait, we placed our order for food as well. My husband had the candied bacon as an appetizer. He enjoyed those. However, the remainder of the food was awful. This was our first and last visit. read more

My family of 17 celebrated my grandmother's 80th birthday here. The service was exemplary starting with hostess at the door. Our server, Tina, answered all of our questions and made recommendations. The coffee and morning drinks were right on time. An earlier reviewer recommended the creamy vanilla spiced latte and I confirm itThe classic french toast, french toast bites and stuffed French Toast are a must try. I highly suggest Ruby Slipper Cafe in Destin, FL. read more

BEST biscut eggs Benedict. We had been to the one in New Orleans a few years ago, so knew we would love it when we saw one here. Great server as well. read more

If you're thinking of going here, just head to waffle house. The waitress here never brought creamer, straws, or silverware until we got our meals. Water tasted weird and food tasted similar to school cafeteria food. Potatoes were oily and still tough. TONS of better places to eat in Destin (like First Watch). -Had to go back to bed to restart our day read more

We are Destin locals and this was our 1st visit (Sunday am 9:15 am.) Very pleased from the time we walked thru the door until the time we left. Greeted by hostess promptly and sat immediately. Our waitress Amanda K was friendly and attentive. We had our drinks and appetizers within 3-5 min from the time we sat down. Ordered the Beignets, Pig Candy Bacon Bites and the Seasonal Stuffed French Toast. It was all amazing. In and out in 45 min and plenty of time to get to church. It was very refreshing to have GREAT SERVICE, DELICIOUS FOOD AND SERVED QUICKLY for Destin in the summer!! We will most definitely return and I highly recommend!! read more

Very delicious! We loved everything that we got and the atmosphere was great. I would definitely go here again.

I loved the food!!!! I had an awesome server named Mary she was so welcoming and friendly. I have already recommended this place to several people while eating there . They were fast and the food was hot and delicious! Definitely coming back #1 breakfast/brunch spot in Destin read more

Such a good breakfast spot in Destin!! We love it, such good service and food! Definitely a must go.

We ate here a few days ago. I always eat here when I go to NOLA and get half of one eggs Benedict because I can never eat a whole one. Well...I ordered the OG and the server brought a whole one. I explained to here that I only ordered one not two. She went back to the manager and said "sorry we only serve it in pairs ". Ok, you all are going to lose a long time customer over an eggs Benedict ? read more

Ruby Slipper killed it! Awesome Bloody Mary's and Eggs Cochon! Our server was Lisa and she did a superb job taking care of us. Will definitely be back! read more

Amazing service and amazing food! The ruby slipper in New Orleans was always our go to place for celebrations and now we have one where we live! Jillian was wonderful! They only opened two days ago and you would think this place was open for years with how smooth it is running. Expect a wait but definitely worth it! Also bring cash, these servers are working hard and should be rewarded right away! read more

First time at Ruby Slipper in Destin. Our food was fantastic! Amber, our server, was an even better!!!

The food was the best I've ever had . The waitress Laura was so nice. I rate this place 10/5 stars

Don't do it. Food and staff are the worst. Cold food, and my Eggs Benedict had a full half egg SHELL laying right on top. I pointed it out to our very filthy waiter who laughed about it and offered no remedy. During our entire brunch, people were sweeping around us, and even brought out a soured mop and mop bucket, and left it right next to our table WHILE WE WERE EATING! Very unappetizing. Will never go back. read more

Come here if you want hair in your food. Both my husband and I had thing blonde & black hair ingrained in our food. Gross

Went for our anniversary, Amazing! Enjoyed our breakfast and Bloody Mary! Great service too!

Just left and all I can say is, "WOW!! Make sure you are prepared to eat some good food! And don't even get me started about the service. Our server was Jerry, and he went above and beyond, never allowing our cup to become empty. So go enjoy some good food, good service-you need this! read more
